Enhanced Oil Recovery Market Size

The global enhanced oil recovery market size was valued USD 39.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to observe a growth rate of 7.5% from 2025 to 2034. Declining production from existing fields and an increasing number of mature wells along with rising demand for crude oil and petroleum products, driven by industrial expansion and urban population growth, further complementing the industry landscape. Continuous technological advancements together with ongoing exploration activities, operational improvements supporting the adoption of advanced EOR methods, further shaping the business dynamics.
 

Enhanced Oil Recovery Market

Enhanced oil recovery industry is anticipated to grow on account of increasing energy consumption led by rising population and ongoing urbanization together with rising oil and gas production demands across various industries. Ongoing development of hybrid systems that combine surfactant or polymer with water flooding to reduce overall costs will further influence the business dynamics. Additionally, the introduction of microbial enhanced oil recovery techniques that minimizes environmental impact, further driving the industry demand.
 

Enhanced Oil Recovery Market Trends

Increasing exploration activities across multiple regions, while companies implement diverse techniques to discover new reserves will further influence the market growth. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy allocated USD 23 million for CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery research. The department selected two projects to assess oil and gas production capabilities and analyse carbon dioxide storage in non-traditional reservoirs. These locations store CO2 both during extraction and afterward, with the ability to hold additional captured carbon dioxide. The underground formations keep the CO2 safely contained, stopping it from reaching the atmosphere.
